Applications Open - Developing Patient Safety Leaders Programme

We are currently seeking applications from AQuA members for an exciting programme designed
to develop the essential skills and knowledge to lead improvements to patient safety.

Starting in February, our four-day Developing Patient Safety Leaders programme will give members the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of patient safety, and learn how they can drive improvements in the quality and safety of care delivered to patients.

Our team of Improvements Advisors will support participants throughout the programme to develop key safety leadership skills, and help them apply this to their individual roles and environments.

Topics covered over the four days will include quality improvement tools, effective patient safety culture, Human Factors, how to measure for sustainable improvements, and safety from a patient perspective.

This opportunity is suitable for a wide range of roles, particularly those looking to have a greater impact on influencing or planning patient safety improvements. However, participants do need to have a basic knowledge and experience of quality improvement.

Participants must also be available to attend all four dates:
  • Thursday 2 February 2017 - Bolton
  • Wednesday 22 February - Bolton
  • Thursday 9 March OR Friday 7 April - AQuA Offices, Sale
  • Thursday 5 May - Salford
Further information can be found in the programme plan. To apply, please download the application form and return to Rose.O'Reilly@srft.nhs.uk.

The deadline for applications is Friday 20 January 2017. Successful applications will be contacted a week after the deadline.
